ARTIST'S NOTES:
A journey that started before dawn in Verona on a small puddle jumper--upgrading to an Alitalia Jet took me right to the arms of my river girl. Spring '97
lyrics
I stand up in shock
as I catch a spark
of your beautiful blue parade
I feel like I'm lost
like a silver coin tossed
in your beautiful blue parade
CHORUS
Well it goes like a river running through
the steady falling rain
Could be the Po, the Mississippi, I don't know
I just see it that way
Up in the air just before the sun
on your beautiful blue parade
I see the silvery mists and the twinkling lights
of your beautiful blue parade
I'm floating through space, without any grace
o'er your beautiful blue parade
I don't care if I fall, just as long as its all
in your beautiful blue parade
CHORUS
As I waddle around, both feet on the ground
by your beautiful blue parade
I must've traveled the world, halfway around
to your beautiful blue parade
The days come and go, the water moves slow
through your beautiful blue parade
Like the snow and the rain, it'll never be the same
In your beautiful blue parade
